Thank You Archive Of Our Own For Being The Sole Reason I Don't Kill Myself

So true tho

'you never read anymore, you used to love reading' and i have 200 safari tabs open. it never stopped it just got weird

"im tired of living through major historical events" is now "dear lord please let me witness a high profile political assassination in the next 1-2 years. amen"

a lot of people tended to say that sirius and regulus looked alike, but the marauders and their friends never quite believed it. they looked much to different with one brother being so expressive with his facial features and the other wearing a mask that never slips.

it wasn’t until one day when barty had managed to convince regulus to pull a cute little joke on evan which then led to evan chasing them down the halls of hogwarts with nothing but murder on his mind. while running they managed to run into the posse of gryffindors as well as dorcas who was with them, and while passing, the group (bar dorcas) had to do a double take because the boy that had just passed them with a mischievous smile plastered on his face looked just like sirius.

Sometimes, regulus would third-wheel for wolfstar, as any younger sibling does. Throughout the whole time, Remus scolds Sirius for making dirty and inappropriate jokes in front of his little brother. The thing is, Remus knows that Sirius is very dirty-minded. What he does not know is that Regulus is 10x worse. So, in reality, Regulus had been pitching in less obvious jokes just so that Sirius can vocalize that inappropriate part. Example of how it would go:

Remus telling a story:...-and so it wouldn't fit in the bag

Regulus, innocently: Oh? Was it that big?

Sirius with a smirk: I know something else that is big -

Remus: SIRIUS ORION BLACK!

my personal take on 'punk academia' ig

converse, combat boots, baggy black pants, hoodies/sweatshirts, chipped polish, e-readers, the smell of old books, forgotten breakfast, soft giggles or loud cackles, multiple piercings, either blaring mcr sped-up music or random songs, long nights, forgetting to study and still making an A, being unusually smart, burnout, calloused hands, no sports, outside, climbs trees, worried about grades even though they have all A's, lets you copy off their homework, never talks or constantly talking, always finishes work early, poetry, writes, doodles horror, horror movies, halloween is the best holiday and no one can tell them otherwise, plaid pajama pants, curling up with a book, literally never sleeps, eyebags™, overly aggressive, kind of a loner but people randomly kidnap them into their social circles, bored, no stimulation, probably gay, mentally ill most likely

a graph based on my observations

Regulus: I think I’m coming down with something - I’ve been so nauseous lately

James /srs: Maybe you’re pregnant?

*Moment of panic*

Regulus: I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot, you got suggesting that, or me for believing you

regulus *arranging chess pieces*: I'm making a straight line.

sirius: ooh yes reggie make that heterosexual line!

regulus: what does heterosexual mean?

sirius: nothing :)

regulus: MOTHER, what does heterosexual mean?

walpurga: SIRIUS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

sirius: indoctrinating the children

Regulus: *nervously* so i noticed that you're in the hospital wing once a month and... are you like me?

Remus: you're also a...

*at the same time *

Remus: a werewolf

Regulus: trans

Regulus:

Remus:

Remus: wait you're trans?!

Regulus: YOU'RE A WEREWOLF?!

we need to talk about the long-term impact of the AIDS pandemic

aids has traumatized the queer community.

when i was 10 years old i didnt know i was queer yet. i never saw any queer people on tv. id never met any queer people, other than my uncle. i was aware that there had been a plague that killed a lot of gay people.

i honestly thought my uncle was the only survivor. i thought there were none of us left.

i didnt know queer people could live. all i knew was my uncle was gay, all his friends died of some disease that killed all the gays, and his mother wanted him to catch it too.

i didnt know there was a chance for us. when i realized i was queer it was terrifying. i thought i would end up like my uncle or his friends who died.

i had no idea that queer people could survive to old age.

i thought it was a death sentence.

even though im older now, im still traumatized. im still learning that i have a shot at life. im not going to die. but im still scared. i havent seen my uncle in years. i dont know any queer people old enough to have actually lived during the 80s.

its scary growing up knowing that people like you dont get old.
